I can ... But you can't....

Have you ever noticed how many things that you do but then you don't like when someone else does it. I have noticed myself doing this alot lately so i thought i would list some.

I can live in sin but you can't
I can say no but you can't
I can decide not to grow to a better person but you can't
I can be selfish but you can't
I can not pay attention to you but you can't
I can be a hypocrit but you can't
I can climb up a slide the wrong way but you can't
I can yell at my nephew but you can't

I have noticed that I get mad or upset of frustrated or some other emotion when I see others doing doing one of these but when i look back at my pass and see when i did the same thing the first thing that wants to come out of my mouth is " THATS DIFFERENT" or some other excuse. But in all reality it isn't any different. alot of these things that i wrote are not good things and its not ok for anyone.

This is something that God has really been convicting me. I don't like being a hypocrit and ever since i had a disscussion with a good friend of mine all i notice is how hypocritical i am. I have seen alot of areas in my life that i need to change and realize if its not ok for you then its not ok for me.

If i don't like you living in sin then i should live in sin
If i want you to continue to grow to a better person then i should be growing into a better person
If i want you to pay attention then i should pay attention
If i don't like hypocrits then i shouldn't be one
If i don't want you to climb up a slide the wrong way then i shouldn't do it
If i don't like you yelling at my nephew then i shouldn't yell at him.

its just that simple.
